You will need an Android device with AirDroid installed, download it from here.

How To Use WhatsApp On PC Or Mac

Step 1: To begin, install the downloaded AirDroid 3 desktop client on your PC or Mac, and proceed to signing in with your username and password. In case you’re new to AirDroid and have not signed up before, hit the ‘Sign up’ button at the bottom to make a new account.

Step 2: Download and run the AirDroid app on your Android device and sign in with the same username and password used for the desktop app.

Step 3: Once you’ve signed in, AirDroid will notify you on your desktop that a new device has been connected.

Step 4: As prompted by AirDroid, you also need to enable Notification Mirror on your Android phone. To do so, in the Android AirDroid app, navigate to Settings > Notification and enable AirDroid Notification Mirror service.

Great! You have the desktop app and the Android client app all setup to use the AirMirror feature.

Step 5: Since you have Notification Mirroring enabled on your Android device for AirDroid, any incoming notification, including WhatsApp, will appear on your Mac or PC. To respond to an incoming WhatsApp message, simply click on the notification and voila! You will see a windowed clone of your Android device with the complete WhatsApp interface on your PC or Mac.

To enter text, simply type away on your keyboard, or use the mouse to click and add some emoticons and other things.

butthurt apple fanboy^ apple restricts iphones too much for something like this to happen on ios. go jailbreak or whatever maybe that’ll help you out. last time i had ios you couldn’t change the background of the device…. true innovation right there. #betogethernotthesame

I was talking abut mac, that runs OSX, not an iPhone that runs iOS … your ignorance is stupid. Enjoy your malware! 🙂

AnonymousAsWell

Ehh ios and OS X have the same functionality. Never had malware btw.

Andrei Marinescu

Well, you see, there’s the problem. You don’t know you had any so you assume you didn’t. BTW, you can try OSX for a week, and I promise you will love it. It’s indeed made for noobs, but if a noob can use it, think about what a more experienced use can do with it! 🙂

Notification says my phone is not rooted. What do I do?

This was excellent. But when connecting to my device it raises the error as “Your device is not supported. Only rotted or certified devices are rooted. We’re working with Android device manufacturers and mobile carriers to get more device models certified”. How to overcome with this?

OSX is a bliss, I bought new Macbook Pro 2 days back and gave my old Macbook to my family member and I received “Thank you”. There is a difference between pleasant and unpleasant experience, makes people do differently. We can make ourselves do things in “a way” unless “better way” is discovered. We can explore and discover better way, agree that budget could be a challenge. If you use windows and get frustrated on optimal use then you are lucky, now you have an opportunity to explore other OS (X).

Uh. Might want to look up that saying. I believe it is – “Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is in God’s handwriting.”
